Sir Muchdoe is a golf enthusiast, and his daughter Eva is looked upon as a great catch. Sir Muchdoe receives a telegram telling him that Duke Mixture and Lord Salisbury are expected as his guests. He is delighted to hear it; his daughter is not. She loves Chester, who sells the soft drinks at the golf course. Nibbs De Hobo and Nobbs De Bum see the message and they get an idea: They plunge into the locker room and steal a fine assortment of golfing togs. Then they present themselves to Sir Muchdoe as the distinguished noblemen. Pa is delighted, and invites his guests to a game of golf, and their attempts at the sport are ludicrous. Chester makes things lively by substituting ancient eggs for the ball at the critical junctures. Eva is riding her horse Patsy to the links. The caddie who has been turned down by her father resolves to be revenged and gives booze to her horse. The animal runs away and the noblemen give chase. They take a short cut, and manage to decoy the horse into the stable by holding a peck of oats out in front of it. Chester is suspicious of the noblemen. On the night of the party they have presented two statues to Sir Muchdoe, which are to be unveiled later in the evening. The statues stand in the conservatory. Chester hires two roughnecks to impersonate the statues, in order to discredit the lords, but his plan miscarries. Then he takes more desperate measures as he hears pa announcing the engagement of Eva to Duke Mixture. He and his pal dress up, and pretending to be the real lords, challenge the pretenders to a duel. The fray is a desperate affair, both principals being so scared that they can hardly stand up. In the middle of the ceremonies the real bearers of the titles arrive with credentials enough to establish their identity, and the bogus ones are kicked out, while Chester embraces Eva.
